Genetics: Analysis and Principles
- During the late stage T4 phage infection, the phage DNA is synthesized by Select one: а. the DNA polymerase encoded by T4 genome. the ADP-ribosylated DNA polymerase encoded by E. coli genome. O c. the ADP-ribosylated DNA polymerase encoded by T4 genome. d. the DNA polymerase encoded by E. coli genome.arrow_forwardA researcher wants to compare the pathogenicity of a mutant pathogen relative to wild type in an animal model. The mutant is marked with the constitutive expression of a foc gene that turns colonies blue on X-gal agar. The input ratio of the experiment Dilue/white colonies) was 10:1. The output ratio of the infection experiment tant to d type was 1-100 a. What is the CI? Show your work. 1. Define the Cr and describe what it measures in your answer Which of these genotypes does better during infection, the mutant or the wild-type?arrow_forwardWhen Griffith injected mice with IIR strain mixed with heat-killed IIIS bacteria, A. The mice survived, and he recovered live type IIIR cells. B. The mice survived, and he recovered live type IIS cells. C. The mice died, but he recovered live type IIIR cells. D. The mice died, but he recovered live type IIS cells. E. The mice died, but he recovered live type IIIS cells.arrow_forward
- You decide to use a plaque assay with a human lung epithelial cell line to compare the effectiveness of the drug. The results of the plaque assay for one strain of influenza are shown below. Based on these results, what can you conclude about the relative effectiveness of WJ379 at 1 mM compared to oseltamivir at 1 mM? Briefly explain your rationale.arrow_forwarda. Explain what is happening the figure below. What important implication originated from The Hershey-Chase Experiment. (A) 32p-labeled phage DNA (B) 355-labeled phage proteins unlabeled 355-labeled empty phages empty phages infected bacteria unlabeled infected bacteria labeled with 3²parrow_forwardThe main reason/reasons that motivated the geneticengineers to use E. coli in the production of monoclonal antibodies compared to the usual techniques is/are: O a. The quality of monoclonal antibody produced by the usual method is poor. O b. The establishment of hybridomas is not easy. O. Theusual technique produces only polyclonal antibodies. O d. The isolation of lymphocytes is difficult. O e. The isolation of spleen cells is difficult.arrow_forward
- In the 1953 study by Hershey and Chase A. 32P was found in supernatants after T2 infection B. 35S was found in bacterial pellets after T2 infection C. E. coli genomes were inherited after T2 infection D. RNA was excluded as THE heritable material E. T2 coats were removed with a blender after initial phage bindingarrow_forwardIn the replica-plating experiments of the Lederbergs, bacterialcolonies appeared at the same locations on each of two secondaryplates becausea. T1 phage caused the mutations to happen.b. the mutations occurred on the master plate prior to T1 exposureand prior to replica plating.c. Both a and b are true.d. Neither a nor b is true.arrow_forward(1) Why the ratio of PE/GFP fluorescence is measured in the FACS experiment, instead of measuring only total PE fluorescence? (2) Explain the effect that each mutation causes in the function of MC4R, and how they can be linked to disease.arrow_forward
- In the shown disc diffusion assay, how many antibiotics have no antibacterial effect at all?: Select one: а. 10 b. 11 С. 3 d. 2 e. ofarrow_forwardYou infect bacteria with two phages during a cis test. This produces a lysate that contains phage particles. Before you can count outcomes, you need to work out the amount of phage to use in subsequent experiments. You start by making two ten- fold serial dilutions of the lysate and then add 1mL of the final diluted lysate to a plate of permissive strain e.coli. You observe 10 plaques. How many phage per mL were present in the original lysate? a. 10 phage/mL o b. 3,300 phage/mL c. 10,000 phage/mL o d. 1,000 phage/mL e. 33 phage/mLarrow_forwardTo understand the genes responsible for growth and infectivity in a disease-causing bacterial strain, you perform chemical mutagenesis on a culture of these bacteria. In the course of your investigation into the properties of the resulting mutants, you identify a set of mutant bacteria that is still viable but their virulence is significantly impaired. How might these mutants be useful for vaccine development?arrow_forward
